Pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi, born in Turin on November 23, 1955, began his musical journey under the guidance of his pianist mother. He studied composition under Luciano Berio at the Conservatory of Milan, later winning a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival in 1982, where he explored minimalism and world music influences. Einaudi's career took off with the release of his solo performances collection "Le Onde" in 1996, leading him to become one of Europe's top-selling pianist/composers with albums like "Eden Roc" (1999) and "I Giorni" (2001).

Venturing into film composition, Einaudi won a Best Film Score award in 2002 for "Luce dei Miei Occhi" and later returned to regular concert performances, producing acclaimed works such as "Una Mattina" (2004) and "Diario Mali" (2006). His diverse discography includes the orchestral collaboration "Divenire" (2007) and the more minimalist "Nightbook" (2009), appealing to fans of post-classical music. Einaudi's exploration continued with albums like "Elements" (2015), featuring various guest performers, and the ambitious seven-volume project "Seven Days Walking" (2019), inspired by his winter walks in the Alps and showcasing his meditative and thematic compositions.
